frantic, I hope you are having fun, because I'm having a ball - and the bonus is that it's far better than Sudoku at keeping my old mind active.
As I have stated before, I am not defending VW, but hoping to hold those who are making wild, unreasonable or factually incorrect claims to account. Anyway, allow me to once again point out how some of your facts and logic are wrong.
From news.com.au on 08 Oct 15:
That's about 91,000, and admittedly growing, but nowhere near 350,000 x 60% or 210,000.
As you also quoted from the website you linked to back in Post #731:
Please note that was the "EPA’s Tier 2-Bin 5 standard", not Euro 5 standard: there is a difference.
I was the one who posted that table at post #730 without a link, but before that at post #453 where I explained that it came from the actual CAFEE report that originally led to the breaking of the scandal (for reference, the table is on page 65). Of course, no one is expecting anyone to go back more than a few pages in a thread as long as this, so I apologise for not providing better context to the table at post #730. That said, I didn't know that your post at #731 was in response to that table, because you quoted Transporter's post at #726 and I missed the reference to the table because you incorrectly attributed its posting to Transporter.
What's really important about that table is the total values, which, as you say, only shows:
However, what you haven't realised (as stated on page 5 of the report) is:
That's 0.04 g/km for US EPA Tier 2-Bin 5 standards, in comparison to 0.18 g/km for Euro 5 standards, so:
35 x 0.04 = 1.4, which I said before:
There are, however, a few facts that you probably got right:
I haven't researched it or done the maths, but this could be true merely due to the fact that there are many more cars on the road than truck and buses.
Also:
That's one fact I certainly can't argue with, as it's your street. I, unfortunately, live on a main road, so lots of big trucks and Volkswagens go past my place, and I can tell you which one I prefer: the Volkswagens.

Results of the study conducted by WVU’s Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines and Emissions, or CAFEE, found that nitrogen oxide emissions...from two Volkswagen light-duty diesel engines exceeded the EPA’s Tier 2-Bin 5 standard. One vehicle exceeded the standard by a factor of 15 to 35 and the other by a factor of 5 to 20.

The EPA Tier 2 emissions standard requires each LDV/LDT vehicle manufacturer to meet acorporate average NOx standard of 0.07g/mile (0.04 g/km) for the fleet of vehicles being sold fora given model year.
